Lauren Jackson AO's Biography

She is the epitome of women's basketball in
Australia, following in the footsteps and carrying on the traditions of grand
mentors in the likes of Michele Timms, Rachael Sporn, and her mother Maree.
These pioneers paved the way for Australian basketball to excel on the
international stage, and Lauren stepped into the spotlight to lead her
contemporaries and future generations to come with inspiration.

A leader by example, her work ethic and
emotional divulgence into the game she so clearly loves is left on court for
all to witness in awe and wonder. From Australia to Korea, to the USA and
across Europe, Lauren has left a lasting impression wherever she plays. Her
athleticism, ability, attitude, strength, and above all her passion, contribute
to the phenomenal player and ambassador that she is for the game worldwide.

No one could stop Lauren Jackson except for
herself, and after eight years of seemingly non-stop play which included twelve
back-to-back seasons in the WNBL and WNBA combined, two Olympic campaigns, two
World Championship tournaments and a stint in Russia, the body's pain threshold
reached its limit.

What the future holds is anyone's guess, but
the legacy Lauren is building will be remembered for generations to come. At
the time of American dominance in the sport, Lauren showed the world a country
girl from down under has every right and capability to mix it with the best,
and even become part of the elite selection of players that will be reflected
upon as the greatest of all time.
